Movies that feel likeTangled (2010)

Feisty teenager Rapunzel, who has long and magical hair, wants to go and see sky lanterns on her eighteenth birthday, but she's bound to a tower by her overprotective mother. She strikes a deal with Flynn Rider, a charming wanted thief, and the duo set off on an action-packed escapade.

If you loved Tangled, the closest films we have are Boy & the World (2014), The Jungle Book (1967) and Mulan (1998). All three share Tangled's whimsical and warm feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Long Way North (2015).
